2025 Rookie Profile: Mason Taylor (TE) LSU

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Mason Taylor, the standout tight end for the LSU Tigers. 

College Resume

Mason Taylor, a three-year starter at LSU, emerged as one of the most productive tight ends in the program’s history. The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Jason Taylor, he showcased a high football IQ and versatility, splitting time between in-line and slot alignments. A 2022 Freshman All-SEC selection and 2024 Third-Team All-SEC honoree, Taylor set LSU tight end records with 129 career receptions and 1,308 receiving yards, becoming the first LSU tight end to surpass 100 receptions and 1,000 yards.

He caught at least one pass in 28 straight games to close his college career and was named a 2025 Senior Bowl participant. His clutch performance, including a game-winning two-point conversion against Alabama in 2022, highlighted his reliability in high-pressure situations.

College Stats (2022-2024)

2022 (Freshman): 38 receptions, 414 yards, 3 TD

2023 (Sophomore): 36 receptions, 348 yards, 1 TD

2024 (Junior): 55 receptions, 546 yards, 2 TD

Career Totals: 129 receptions, 1,308 yards, 6 TD

Notable: 72 of 129 receptions (56%) resulted in first downs; 701 yards came after the catch (YAC). In 2024, he had a 1.8% drop rate and split snaps: 45.1% in-line, 44.6% slot, 9.0% wide.

Measurables (Pro Day)

Height: 6’5”

Weight: 246 lbs (down from 251 lbs)

40-Yard Dash: 4.64-4.66 seconds

Short Shuttle: 4.43 seconds

3-Cone Drill: 7.07 seconds

Bench Press: 28 reps

Hand Size: 9⅞”

Arm Length: 32⅞”

Wingspan: 78¼”

Scouting Profile

Strengths

Taylor is a chain-moving pass-catcher with reliable hands and sharp route-running instincts, particularly against zone coverage. His 68% conversion rate for first downs underscores his ability to keep drives alive. He manipulates defenders with subtle head fakes and tempo changes, displaying a nuanced understanding of spacing.

His versatility—splitting time nearly 50/50 between in-line and slot roles—makes him a scheme-fit for modern NFL offenses. Taylor’s contested-catch ability and low drop rate (1.8% in 2024) highlight his dependability, while his 701 YAC yards show he’s a threat after the catch. As a blocker, he’s more effective in space, using angles and timing to seal defenders, and he’s shown growth as a downfield receiver.

Weaknesses

Taylor’s blocking in-line needs refinement. His high pad level and technical flaws often lead to him being driven back by power rushers, limiting his effectiveness against defensive ends in one-on-one situations. He’s not an elite athlete, with average speed (4.65 forty) that may struggle to separate against NFL safeties in man coverage. His 6 TD in 38 games suggest he’s not a primary red-zone threat, and his play strength requires further development to handle the physicality of NFL defenses.

2025 Rookie Profile: Jayden Higgins (WR) Iowa State

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Jayden Higgins, a sleeper wide receiver out of Iowa State. 

College Resume

Jayden Higgins began his collegiate career at Eastern Kentucky, where he played two seasons (2021-2022) for the Colonels. As a 2-star recruit out of Westminster Christian School in Palmetto Bay, Florida, he quickly showcased his potential, amassing 87 receptions for 1,151 yards and 13 touchdowns over two years.

After transferring to Iowa State in 2023, Higgins elevated his game in the Power 5 landscape. In his first season with the Cyclones, he started 12 of 13 games, recording 53 receptions for 983 yards (18.5 yards per catch) and 6 touchdowns, including a school bowl-record 214 yards in the 2023 Liberty Bowl against Memphis.

His senior year in 2024 was a breakout campaign, as he hauled in 87 receptions for 1,183 yards and 9 touchdowns, earning Second Team All-Big 12 honors, Third Team All-American recognition, and an invitation to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl. His 18.5 yards per catch in 2023 ranks as the seventh-best single-season mark in Iowa State history.

College Stats

Eastern Kentucky (2021-2022): 87 receptions, 1,151 yards, 13 touchdowns (2 seasons)

Iowa State (2023-2024):

2023: 53 receptions, 983 yards, 6 touchdowns (18.5 YPC)

2024: 87 receptions, 1,183 yards, 9 touchdowns

•1,483 total air yards (10th among draft-eligible WRs)

Measurables (NFL Combine)

Higgins’ combination of size, speed, and explosiveness makes him a physically imposing outside receiver with the frame to dominate in contested catch situations and the athleticism to stretch the field. His 4.47 speed is notable for his size, though his hip flexibility is considered average, which can affect route transitions.

2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo (RB), Arizona State

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Cam Skattebo looks at the Dynasty darling running back from Arizona State.

College Resume

Cam Skattebo began his college football journey at Sacramento State, an FCS program, after being underrecruited out of Rio Linda High School in California, where he racked up over 6,000 rushing yards and 69 touchdowns. At Sacramento State, Skattebo earned Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2022, amassing over 2,200 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns across two seasons.

Transferring to Arizona State in 2023, he became a workhorse back, but his 2024 season was a breakout, leading the Sun Devils to an 11-3 record and a Big 12 Championship. Skattebo finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting, earning Big 12 Championship Game MVP honors, and became the second Big 12 player ever to record 1,500+ rushing yards and 500+ receiving yards in a single season. His journey from an unranked recruit to a Heisman finalist highlights his relentless drive and ability to perform against top competition.

Stats

Skattebo forced 102 missed tackles in 2024 (second only to Ashton Jeanty among FBS running backs) and posted seven 100+ yard rushing games, including a 262-yard performance against Mississippi State, the second-highest single-game rushing total in Arizona State history.

Sacramento State (2021-2022): 252 rushes, 1,892 yards (7.5 YPC), 13 TDs; 31 receptions, 371 yards, 3 TDs.

Arizona State (2023): 164 rushes, 783 yards (4.8 YPC), 9 TDs; 24 receptions, 286 yards, 1 TD.

Arizona State (2024): 293 rushes, 1,711 yards (5.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 45 receptions, 605 yards, 3 TDs; 2,316 total scrimmage yards, 24 total TDs.

Notable Game (2024 College Football Playoff vs. Texas): 30 carries, 143 yards, 2 rushing TDs; 8 receptions, 99 yards; 42-yard passing TD; battled flu-like symptoms to lead a comeback attempt.

 

I don’t care if Cam Skattebo is slow.

I don’t care if his game “isn’t sustainable.”

I don’t care if “teams are lower on him than the media.”

He’s an absolute dawg who elevated his team on the biggest stage. 3-down back who can do EVERYTHING. pic.twitter.com/Rz3V0xDOjM

Measurables

Skattebo’s elite burst was evident in his vertical and broad jump numbers, which ranked among the best for running backs at the 2025 NFL Combine. However, his 40-yard dash time was one of the slowest among his peers, raising concerns about his long speed in the NFL.

Height: 5’9 1/2”

Weight: 219 lbs

Arm Length: 29 7/8”

Hand Size: 9 3/8”

40-Yard Dash: 4.65 seconds

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Emeka Egbuka looks at our No. 2 wideout in the 2025 NFL Draft class.

Emeka Egbuka, a standout wide receiver from Ohio State, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the most polished and dependable prospects in his class. Ohio State has earned the moniker “Wide Receiver U” by consistently producing elite NFL talent, including Marvin Harrison Jr. (2024 No. 4 overall pick), Garrett Wilson (2022 No. 10 overall), Chris Olave (2022 No. 11 overall), and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2023 No. 20 overall).

Egbuka follows in their footsteps, bringing a technically refined skill set, high football IQ, and a track record of production in big moments. While he may lack the elite physical traits of some peers, his savvy route running, reliable hands, and versatility make him a high-floor prospect poised to contribute early in his NFL career.

Resume

High School: Steilacoom High School (DuPont, WA), consensus five-star recruit, No. 1 WR and No. 9 overall player in 2021 class (247Sports). Named Washington Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior, amassing 199 receptions, 3,987 yards, and 61 TDs over his prep career, including a record-setting 18-catch state championship game.

College: Ohio State (2021–2024), early enrollee, played alongside NFL-bound receivers like Harrison, Wilson, Olave, and Smith-Njigba. Became Ohio State’s all-time leader in career receptions (205). Helped lead Ohio State to the 2024 National Championship, with six receptions in the title game. Earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2022.

Other: Showed special-teams value as a freshman, leading the Big Ten in kickoff return average (29.0 yards per return). Team captain in 2024, demonstrating leadership and toughness.

College Stats

2021 (Freshman): 11 games, 9 receptions, 191 yards (21.2 YPC), 0 TDs; 20 kickoff returns for 580 yards (29.0 avg.).

2022 (Sophomore): 13 games, 74 receptions, 1,151 yards (15.6 YPC), 10 TDs; 11 carries, 87 yards, 2 TDs.

2023 (Junior): 10 games (missed three due to ankle injury requiring tightrope surgery), 41 receptions, 515 yards (12.6 YPC), 4 TDs.

2024 (Senior): 81 receptions, 1,011 yards (12.5 YPC), 10 TDs; broke Ohio State’s career receptions record (205).

Career Totals: 50 games (38 starts), 205 receptions, 2,868 yards (14.0 YPC), 24 TDs; 23 carries, 150 yards, 2 TDs; 40 returns (22 kick, 18 punt), 725 yards.

Notable: Against ranked opponents (8 games), totaled 51 receptions for 610 yards. Two 1,000-yard seasons, joining Marvin Harrison Jr. as the only Buckeyes to achieve this feat.

Measurables

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 202 lbs

Arm Length: 31.5”

Hand Size: 9.625”

40-Yard Dash: 4.48 seconds

Vertical Jump: 38”

Notes: Egbuka’s athletic profile is good but not elite, with above-average acceleration, fluidity, and change-of-direction ability. His 4.30 40-yard dash reported at Ohio State’s Junior Day (unverified) suggests potential for better speed than his combine time indicates.
